On Friday, June 18, Lightlife—maker of the #1 selling plant-based hot dog in America²—and Bang Bang will host a pop-up tattoo shop at 62 Grand Street in New York City from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. ET. Bang Bang, or one of his artists, will fix the existing hot dog tattoos of five contest winners and give one Bang Bang custom-designed Lightlife Smart Dog tattoo to a Lightlife super fan winner. The winner will also receive a year’s supply of Lightlife (via coupons).

Participants can enter for a chance to win by posting a photo on Instagram of their old hot dog tattoo, or where they want the new Bang Bang Smart Dog tattooed, plus why they deserve to win, using #smarttattooscontest and tagging @lightlifefoods^®.

“Part of loving a tattoo is maintaining and improving it over time,” said Bang Bang. “They’re a fun way to show off your personality and interests, so for the hot dog lovers out there: no matter if you like ’em with ketchup, mustard or just plain naked, we’re not here to judge you.”

Earlier this month, Lightlife announced a complete redesign of the recipes of 19 of its plant-based products, removing items like carrageenan from its #1 selling Smart Dogs, delivering on consumer demands for cleaner plant-based protein options.

“Hot dogs are an iconic part of American culture, with Americans estimated to eat 20 billion hot dogs every year,” said Dan Curtin, President of Greenleaf Foods. “We want to offer people a delicious, guilt-free, plant-based option that’s great for the whole family—that’s why we lightened up and improved the ingredients in our #1 selling Smart Dogs.”

Lightlife products can be found at more than 30,000 stores throughout the United States and Canada, including retailers like Ahold, Albertsons, Kroger, Meijer Corp, Publix, Safeway, Sprouts Farmers Market, Target, Wakefern, Walmart, Wegmans and Whole Foods.
